Seniors Last Week

This week the class of 2012 seniors are done.  The hallways will be empty and finally quiet.  I will miss them though.  Being a sophomore I have more classes with seniors than I ever have and I have played sports with them this year.  I've made a lot of great friends who will be graduating this year and I will be sad because I might not ever see them again.  But having them graduate just makes me ten times more ready for summer and to become a junior next year then before I know it, it will be me on the stage graduating.  I wish all the seniors good luck on their journey through their new life.  I will miss the class of 2012. 

Prom

In my opinion high-schools proms are not over-rated.  It depends who you go with and what you do.  Some people make it over-rated.  I went to two proms this year but i'm just gonna talk about Sand Creeks Prom.  The D.J. was not very good, he played a lot of old music.  The best part was getting to dance with all my friends and just having a good time.  After prom was kind of boring after the first hour or two.  There wasn't much stuff there to keep you busy and the prizes were not that great.  I also went to Morenci's Prom which was last saturday.  There after prom was way better but I don't know about the dance but it might have been becuase I didn't know a lot of people.

Facebook...Schmacebook...what is all the fuss!

Do you have a Facebook account?  I do.  I've had one for about two years now.  I use it everyday, or at least get on it everyday...I don't always post a new status everyday.  I just like facebook because it lets me see what people are doing, what events are going on, and what all the drama is about...because it's all on facebook.  I think so many people just have to be on facebook because they'd feel like an outcast because everyone talks about facebook in school "Did you see that facebook fight?  Did you see the picture so and so commented on?  Did you see who broke up on facebook?"  People feel like facebook is their way to stay in the loop of things and not be left out.  I think facebook should be used only for what it was created for.  Did you know it was created for college students to assosicate with each other?  It was never for Jr. high kids or high schools kids or adults who are in their forties.  Yes, I do have one but that's because everyone my age does...do I think we should have one at age 10-16? No.  Facebook causes drama and cyber-bullying in high school.  The original purpose of facebook isn't even used now.  Facebook has its positives and negatives.  Three positives about facebook is it lets people know whats happening in others' lives, like when adults post new pictures of a newborn it allows others to see how their life is changing.  Another positive is it allows you to express yourself in a way, yes their are limits to what you can post on facebook but it still allows you to express yourself.  Also, Facebook allows kids to interact and maybe not be so shy.  People on the Internet are less shy than in person because it's not face to face confrontation.  So eventually people will grow out of being shy possibly from facebook.  Facebook also has many negatives as well.  Facebook (in high school) can cause major drama between people.  It can cause cyber-bullying as well because people don't care about others' feeling when they don't see the reaction in person.  Actually some kids have committed suicide from bullying through facebook.  Another negative is that it allows rapist (possibly) to find a target easier.  Facebook shows your name, date of birth(optional), location, age, and you may not realize it but many people share personal information and have pictures that can give their location.  It can be very dangerous.  It would be easy for someone to make a fake account and be your "friend", get information out of you, and fool you.  It happens a lot.  And all these girls and boys that say they have hundreds of "friends" they probably don't.  I mean people can have hundreds of acquaintances but friends?  I mean how can people have hundreds of friends and hang out with them all and keep in touch.  It's almost impossible.  But they could be past friends and recent friends all added up to make you have hundreds of friends on facebook.  But people add others if they've only maybe seen them at a place they were at one day.  It's crazy.  So is facebook over-rated?  What is all the fuss?

There is nothing better than...

There is nothing better than Elizabeth Herriman's dad.  Jeff Herriman is the best person in the whole entire world.  He thought me all the basics of softball, my favorite sport.  He has three daughters.  Two are twins, Elizabeth and Gabby, Elizabeth is the nicer twin of the two.  I don't know how Gabby got to be so mean.  Anyways Jeff is a great person, he always makes me laugh and whenever I am about to pitch in a game I think of him because he was the first person to ever let me pitch in a game, I was like 10.  I was horrible, I never practiced but he helped me and I wasn't sooo bad like I thought I was.  Well anyways Jeff is an all around amazing person, he is a great father for raising Elizabeth the way he did, and he is a great coach.  I hope one day I can have him coach me again!  You never know.  Oh and also he can pull off having a moustache and most guys can't AND he can pull off the look of not having a moustache, double cool.

MY SPRING BREAK!

I did many different things during Spring break.  My first day of spring break I went and signed up to go tanning all month! Yay!  Then the next day, Saturday, I left for my sisters house all the way to Kalamazoo.  I stayed there until Thursday.  At Kalamazoo I found my prom dress and my prom shoes.  My mom, my sister, and I all went shopping and we bought lots of summer clothes.  The rest of the week I just sat around and saw how college life was like, I liked it.  I can't wait to go to college now.  I also gave her dog daily walks.  Also I went and got my hair done when I got back.  Then I went to a Wild Game Supper, YUCK!  I only eat chicken and deer.  They had things like squirrel pot pie; also at the Wild Game Supper we played barn ball, it was scary.  Then for the rest of my break I was with my family for Easter, I went to church early and helped cook breakfast then went to the sermon.  Then I went to my grandmas and ate then went home and ate more with Chris Ondrovick and my immediate family.

OH and I got a new puppy ! She is so cute; we haven't decided on a name yet though...she's a boxer.

Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

If I could make up my own holiday I would make the holiday on June 7th.  Why June 7th do you ask?  Because it is my birthday, and I am sick of going to school on my birthday.  The reason for celebrating is just to have a day off in the summer.  This holiday would be called "Abbeys' Day."  On this day people would exchange summer gifts; like summer clothes, bikinis, sandals, purses, everything.  People would travel to the beach and relax out in the sun.  You would have a feast of foods with tons of fruits that grow in the summer.  Everyone would get the day of school and relax.  People would be required to take off work and spend time with their kids and families.  A symbol for this holiday would be a sun or a palm tree.

If I could meet anyone...

If I could meet anyone in the entire world dead or alive I would meet Jake Owen.  I went to his concert Friday, it was amazing!  The best concert iv'e ever been too!!  One day I will meet him.  I love his songs, they are so inspirational and motivating.  Country singers are the best.  If I ever meet him I would want him to sing "Alone with you" to me, it's one of my favorites.  Jake Owen is also very attractive.  Anyways, I love Jake Owen.  I hope one day I can be his future wife, if anything happens to the one he has now.

March is reading month.

March is reading month!  My favorite children's book was "You Are Special."  This is my favorite children's book because it was a gift from Mrs.Isley my first grade teacher.  It is about a doll who didn't think he was very special, but indeed he was.  Its a great kids story because it can relate to almost every little kid, because in every little kid's life they don't feel like there as special as others but they are.  When I was little my mom used to read to me all the time and in school all the teachers in elementary would read to us too, I really enjoyed it.


I think most teenagers today don't like to read because there lazy. I am not one of those teenagers because I do enjoy reading.  I don't like all books but I like series books and I like to keep reading them.  I don't like the books we usually get for assignments there just not for everyone.  I'm not sure what it would take to get teenagers interested in reading again, maybe less technology would do the trick, but that's not going to happen.  Teenagers are more interested in playing video games all night instead of reading before bed.
